First Game Of Next Season Will Be Away

Wed May 14, 2014 9:13 pm

With the Championship starting on the 9th of August, and the Supercup on the 12th, I would imagine the club will request the F.A for an away fixture to start the season.

This will allow the organisers and ground staff to get the stadium in tip-top condition for the showpiece event. It should be a great evening.

I cant wait to see what it produces. New expansion, first class coverage with a European atmosphere. Hopefully its a bright summers evening too. Football at it's finest me thinks.

For the showpiece events, EUFA usually want to have complete access to the stadium for at least a week before hand.

It's got nothing to do with The FA though.
